Chelsea 3 Leeds United 1Olivier Giroud, Kurt Zouma and Christian Pulisic sent Chelsea top of the Premier League as the Blues handed Frank Lampard a 3-1 win over Leeds and old rival Marcelo Bielsa. Giroud bagged his fifth goal of the week in fully vindicating boss Lampard giving the France hitman his first league start of the campaign. Zouma then headed home from Mason Mount’s corner as the Blues battled back from ex-Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford’s early opener for Leeds. The Blues extended their unbeaten Premier League run to nine matches, having last tasted defeat against Liverpool on September 20th. Germany striker Werner latched onto the goal-bound header intent on claiming the finish for himself, only to stub the ball up into the air.
